Abstract

Sediment and phosphorus losses to streams from crop and pasture land can be reduced through production practices. The associated abatement costs to farmers are substantial and increase rapidly as the sediment and phosphorus constraints become more stringent. Distribution of these costs is determined by the type of regulation established.
